Education
Until September 2008, the district operated the three-tier education system, whereby there were three middle schools. Everyone in the district went to the same upper school in Melton from 14-18. At both GCSE and A level, the district's results are above the England average. Students can also attend Brooksby Melton College from 16-18, but it gets no better results but it is mainly a vocational further education college for practical skills.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“The experience of the race shows that we get our most important education not through books but through our work. We are developed by our daily task, or else demoralized by it, as by nothing else.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“What education is to the individual man, revelation is to the human race. Education is revelation coming to the individual man, and revelation is education that has come, and is still coming to the human race.”
—Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729–1781)
“Since [Rousseau’s] time, and largely thanks to him, the Ego has steadily tended to efface itself, and, for purposes of model, to become a manikin on which the toilet of education is to be draped in order to show the fit or misfit of the clothes. The object of study is the garment, not the figure.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
